J. W. stsiiey. in tire Garden City Sentinel.
Rocky FoRD.-Through an invita-
tion from the managers of the town
company having charge of this place,
a representative of the "Sentlnel''
visited the little city of Rocky Ford,
and by way of preface we can cordi-
ally give the city credit for all that
| these gentlemen claim for her, and
more. AS is well known, Rocky
Ford was born but few weeks ago,
and until after the opelfing sale of
lots, the 18th of last April, which oc.
Cured Immediately after the plant
ing of the townsite, there were but
three houses in the place-two of
them being residences of farmers,
while the third was occupied by a
small general country stock of goods,
and gave room for the post service
which handled the meagre mail of
the few settlers in this vicinity.
There has been q wonderful change
since then, and where there was
"plenty room for deyelopenent" as
was explained to the writer just be-
fore the opening sale, there are now
excellent business houses and pretty
and comfortable residences-some al
ready completed and occupied, while
Others are being hurried on to COM
pletion as fast as lumber and other
building material can be produced.
There are nine business houses that
are now being constructed and that
are now under contract to be finished
ready for occupancy the former part
of July. These buildings will be
filed with large stocks; Colonel
T.ovejoy, of New Kiowa, Kansas,
bringing $4,000 stock for one,
while the State Bank of Rocky Ford
will occupy another, until the brick
"Bank Block" will have been finish
ed. While there is one hotel of fair
size, and we'll kept, there is demand
for further room, and to the end thai
the want be supplied, some eastern
parties purchased ground and have
let contracts for a two story brick
hotel which will be 65xl0O feet, and
surrounded by pretty lawns, walks
and drives. This will add not only
70 the beauty and substantially of
the city, but will enchance the values
of properties.
At distance, tho vicinity of
Rocky Ford has the appearance of a
grand forest, owing to the foresight
of Colonel G. w. Swink, who, com
ing to this place fifteen years ago
and with family of eleven children
settled here, built for hlmself home,
and provided well for his large fam.
lily, taking homestead and timber
claim and clothing the valley in
green. These trees are now large
and healthy, and add greatly to the
beauty of the place. Coming as he
Bent County register., 1887-07-09

did when there were few settlers in
this portion of the then territory, and
being "public spirited cuss"-as a
friend of the colonel pleasantly re-
marked-and . good off-hand speak
er and political worker, although not
q politician, he took a leading part
in the affairs of the county and terri
tory, and has been and still is-but
without ostention-a sort of a moral
and adviory autocrat. Two large
groves of these trees were planted as
the timer culture laws dlrect, while
with keen foresight, streets and ave-
nues were laid off, and parks planted
and fostered, for a possible city, us
soon as the steam whistle of the San
ia Fe sounded in this valley, and al
though the coming of city has been
long, and until of late discouraging,
the reward is here. This was recog-
nized after the years of patient toll
in beautifying the valley with timber,
and with water from the bitches con.
structed, which cover thousands of
valley and mesa land and which in
return is productive of such good re-
suits.
There are many excellent farms in
the valley and under the great Catlin
and the Rocky Ford canals, and it is
matter of record that they have
given such grand results as would ex-
cite incredulity in the minds of the
eastern people who are not cognizant
of what Kansas and Colorado soil is
capable of producing. The writer,
in company with Harry v. Alexander,
editor of the Rocky Ford Enterprise,
walked over to Colonel Swink's or
chards and feasted upon lus cius rasp-
berries and currants and immense
dewberries-a Wild species of a deli
cious trust growing on a running
vine, we'll known Ill eastern Kansas,
Nebraska and other places-and
walked through and among the halt
acre or more of blackberries, goose
berry, strawberries and other small
fruits which were loaded with unripe
fruit, and which bent the branches
to the ground, even where they were
tied up,-and back through the or
chards of apple, plum, peach and
cherry trees. The apple trees are
thrifty and have q good crop of fruit
while the plum trees are too prolific
for their own good. Peach trees
have as yet borne little fruit, but
with careful pruning and free irriga.
ton, there is no reason why they
should not do well. Cherries have
given fair results, and it is claimed
that the harder varieties of pears
will do well.
The vineyard was next visited-and
such sight! 1t would make even a
Kansas man green with envy! Great,
luscius branches of the prettiest and
most tranparent globes of this fruit
were hanging from every possible
sprig of the vines, and it seemed that
the tendrils them selves were capable
of bearing fruit, they were SO healthy
looking and strong. This is model
farm and has extra care taken of it,
but what is possible with this place

the art Of killing time, but OF spending
money. The Assembly was made TO play
second fiddle to them In that respect
also. We cannot undertake 10 enumerlte
the various festivals which were got for
their benefit by "a discerning public" Al
together Il IL conceded that nm expenditure
of 81 100 was made for their benefit. or
course the waste of that large amount
Of money made it necessary to economist In
more worthy aud important directions. The
fire companies were ignored, the Assembly,
as we have shown, snubbed. Worst OF oil, q
scheme to establish a public library and
reading room was reported impracucabie
for want of funds Now we believe VI, 100
would have gone far towards establishing a
branch of the Y. NJ. @. A., with library and
reading room-soniething in harmony with
the design Of the Assembly, safeguard to
young men against the seductions Of the sa-
looms. How shameful that the means Of
securing all this good should have been
squandered as they were!
Let il be constantly borne in mind that
what is known rs the Chautauqua system is
n system of schools-of actual intellectual
work as we'll as moral and religious training.
To carry it on successfully requires not
only money, but mental effort and appica-
ton. And this too, not merely during the
sessions of the Assembly, but during the
intervening time rs well.
These facts must be recognized here
II we hope to make our Assembly what 1t
should be. Our people must themselves
stand unitedly by it if they hope for the
outside world to aid in building it up.
They must give it not only their material
but their moral support, in accordance with
the great ideas and objects of the move
ment. Thus aud thus only may they hope
to hail its success.

convened on Saturday. Owing to the late
election excitement the opening was but
slimly attended. By Request Miss Leavell
furnished poem which was read on the
occasion. We havs not received copy or
it would have appeared in this issue. Mr..
DuBose made the opening address, Col.
Swain not being in attendance. On Sun
day morning Mr.. DuBose preached The
children met for Sunday school instruction
at p. IN. and Rev. Mr. Mcintyre preached
at night. The gate fees having been reduced
to 25cts per day or ten cents for a single
admission. we learn there has since been
larger attendance. We trust the Assembly
will grow into its normal prosperity and
more than its usual SUCCESS in a short time.
Let us all do our best for that end.
